octave 5.1.0: Launching app causes spinning ball

[watsodw]

Just upgraded to Octave 5.1.0. When I start it I get the Mac colored spinning ball. It doesn't stop.

By the way, I'm on High Sierra 10.13.6.

I also found no issue with

on Mojave.

I am sorry, but I can not reproduce this error.
It is unlikely that we can do much without narrowing down the problem.

Does this error happen every time or intermittently?

[watsodw]

It happens every time. Interestingly, there is an Octave-5.1.0 app from Octave-app.org that does the same thing for me. Got to be something about my machine?

I am sorry, but there seems to be little we can do for this issue.
Perhaps we can reopen the ticket if more information becomes available.
